With the increasing rise in cases throughout Saskatchewan, linked to public and private social gatherings, Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer Dr. Saqib Shahab is amending the public health order on gathering sizes in private residences.
As of 12:01 a.m. on Friday, the maximum allowable gathering size for private gatherings in the home will be 15.
“Even with increasing community transmission rates we still have the power to effect change, to flatten that curve, but it means all residents have to do their part to help keep their friends and family safe,” Shahab said.
Shahab is also strongly recommending masks be worn in all indoor public locations where physical distancing of two metres is not possible or predictable.
Above all, stay home if sick.
